ISABEL LUDLOW (8) made late ground and finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 6f at Santa Anita, an improvement on her ninth at Santa Anita the run before. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. CLARINA (1) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. NANCI GRIFFITH (6) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 6f at Santa Anita (Dirt) on April 26. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. CLARE'S BABY (3) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). No surprise if she figured in the finish.
